Our latest fund raising initiative proved a success as we put on our first ever Family Bingo Night and it went down a storm with those present. We were
unsure how it would go and like anything you are trying for the first time we were a little anxious it might 'flop'. Thankfully after swapping a faulty microphone everything went smoothly. Simon (
that's me folks) shown above in action was responsible for announcing the numbers and despite it being the first time I've ever done it I felt I coped okay and I even began to enjoy it and even tried cracking some jokes and having banter with the crowd. It was sort of that night and Sue a fellow PTA member took over the duties of calling out the numbers from me on occasion. Once house was called the excitement generated and the unsporting booing from the losers was a sight and some of the victory dances were fun to watch with one not to be named teacher really pulling a wild jig of joy after winning.
The children that were in attendance also had some
involvement with their own game known as 'Ping-Pong Bingo' which was taken very seriously and the picture above shows a game in progress. The concept was once their ball was drawn out they were eliminated from the game. It was hilarious to watch as
friends and schoolmates were willing each others balls to be drawn out and not theirs. On the whole despite a small turn out those present really enjoyed themselves got into the spirit of it and there was plenty of smiles around at the end of the night. If you couldn't make it this time please don't miss our next Family Bingo Night as we can assure you, you wont be disappointed and as well as having fun you'll be
raising funds for our
children's school meaning even if you lose you still win.
